For the Streusel Topping:

  • 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Pastry Crust:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, granulated sugar, and salt.
  • Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together.

3. Make the Apple Filling:

  • In a separate mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves until evenly coated.

4. Roll Out the Dough:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
